HDTV not detected by T60

I have connected my T60 ATI Radeon 1300 to an HDTV via HDMI. Display does not detect the TV? Any ideas?

Using a 2504 dock (~$15.-), a 6Ft. DVI-D to HDMI cable (~$5.-) and a 6Ft. 3.5mm stereo to RCA cable (~$5.-) will get your system going.

Does the HDTV have a DB15 VGA input? If so, try a standard VGA monitor cable.

I'm not sure about this, but I think the T60 must detect the HDTV at boot. Did you connect the HDMI cable to the TV before turning the T60 on?
Collection = T500 - R400 - X300 - X200 - T61 (14" WXGA+) - T61 (14.1" SXGA+) - T60 (15" SXGA+) - X40 - T43p - T43 - T42p - A30P - 600E

Worked on reboot! But the highest resolution available is 1240 x 1080 and the TV is capable of 1920x1080. Any ideas?

I’ve been doing what you’re trying for several years with this setup:
T60 2007-72U
X1400 GPU
VGA cable
Win 7 Pro 32bit (64 also works - never tried with XP)
Driver 8.561 (probably from TVSU or MS Update – no CCC installed)

The key is changing: Control Panel > Display > Adjust Resolution > Multiple Displays
To: Show Desktop only on 2 (or whichever is detected as the TV)

Here is a cap from my Sony 1920x1080 TV:
